He's happy to have the castoff.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones passes the ball against the Washington Commanders during the third quarter of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Minnesota Vikings signed the Giants’ castoff quarterback. “Got to know him through the draft process years ago.
“I can just say that I’ve been a big fan of Daniel’s for a long time, and I hope wherever his next step takes him, it’s a good opportunity for him.”It’s unclear how much — if any — Jones will play for the Vikings. Sam Darnold is Minnesota’s starting QB — and is having a bounceback season — while Nick Mullens is his backup, so Jones should be second string right away.
Jones’ inconsistent play this season — 2,070 passing yards with a brutal 8-7 touchdown-interception ratio — played a huge role in both the Giants’ terrible record and his eventual benching.Jones had a $23 million injury guarantee — which could have made his inevitable release all the more difficult for the Giants.
